To Dede

Without you my life is different now.
I miss the laughter we shared, the shopping, the road trips, the fun,
And the music, oh the music.
I can't believe that you're gone.

So that's why today I emailed you just to say hi,
And that's why today I thought of you and started to cry.

I know you fell into the waiting arms of God,
But to go on without you, your laughter, your loving bear hugs, is so hard.
I miss you, Dede,
It hurts so much that you're gone.
About the DVD

The 'Wake for Dede' was recorded by amateurs on September 18, 2004 at the
Visulite Theatre in Dede's hometown of Charlotte, NC.  Dede's favorite band,
The Connells headlined.  The show was opened by George Huntley in a rare
acoustic performance.  And Matt and Dave from The Mayflies who considered
Dede their own "Fan One" played as Street Green.  All of the bands agreed to
play to raise money for Dede's family.

If you'd like a copy, simply send an e-mail to king@mindspring.com stating that

but never charge anyone for a copy!  Our interest is in sharing this special
show with Connells fans who knew and still miss Dede.  And even if you did
not know Dede personally, this DVD is a great way to pay tribute to her.

All copies of the DVDs are free to any Connells fan who would like a copy.


We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to King Rhoton for his hard work
on this project and Tracey Jipson for creating the memorial site for Dede.
Diana Linette Davis
known affectionately as 'Dede' by all
who knew her passed away all too
soon on Sunday, April 11, 2004 at
the Carolinas Medical Center.

Dede was a well known Connells
fan who was not only a close friend
of the band members but of all
Connells fans from around the globe.

She frequently sent free copies of
Connells CDs to other fans that she
bought herself.  It is in this tradition
that we are offering a copy of the
'Wake For Dede' DVD to all who
want one.
